"Judaism - a Green Religion?" with Jennifer Bachman

How the Jewish calendar denotes a life strongly tied to the earth and its natural rhythms.

Jennifer was born in Miami into a secular household. At the age of 16, she attended a semester study abroad program and found home in the nation of Israel. At 19, she officially converted to Judaism and four years later she emigrated to Israel, where she learned to speak Hebrew fluently in 4 short months. One of her strong passions is fostering cultural and spiritual awareness, respecting and embracing the diversity of creation and the ties that bind everyone and everything. In keeping with that philosophy, she, her born-again Christian husband, and their four children open their home to the community on Friday evenings to share in the traditional Jewish Shabbat celebration marking the day of rest and renewal.
